6 months old!

Ohh my sweet boy,

You are 6 months Old!!(on 9/17/11) Where has the time gone? I can't believe how much you have grown and changed in your short, sweet little life! I adore you more than you will ever know!

Here is what you are up to:
~You weigh 20.5 lbs and are 30 inches long! You are SO tall! You are in the 90th percentile for weight and you are off the charts in height! Pro basketball player on our hands? Oh, but my love you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up!

~You love eating! You have now had Peas, Carrots and Green Beans! You love them all! I am pretty sure you are going to love all foods!
~You are sleeping from about 8:00pm-6:00am!
~You are wearing a size 3 diaper and wear some 6 months clothes, but mostly 9-12 month clothes!
~You are rolling around everywhere! I am pretty sure once you figure out that your arms can hold you up you will be crawling away soon!
~You are sitting up for a little while by yourself. Still a little wobbly, but you almost got it :)
~You smile all day long! You are so happy!
~You have TWO teeth! and you poor thing, still smile through your pain :(
~Your eyes are getting darker. They aren't quit brown, but they aren't blue. I think you may have hazel eyes!
~Your hair is still darker on top, but your new baby hairs are blonde. I still think you are going to be blonde!
~We had to lower your crib because you were grabbing on your crib bumper and using it as a blanket to snuggle up against. (I would find you up against the side with your arm hanging over the bumper. I was afraid you would start pulling youself up with it next)
~I put you to bed still awake and you have been doing so well putting yourself to sleep. (you whine a little and then are asleep within minutes)
~Naps are a different story. We are still working on them. As of now you still take about 30 min naps every 2 hours.( although, I think you nap better at Auntie Britt's house, becaue I always get texts from her saying how long you have been sleeping, and they are usually longer than when you are at home, stinker!)
~Your daddy makes you smile like crazy. You are best friends and it is the cutest thing ever!
~You are saying "mama" but I don't think you are associating it with me yet. Your daddy thinks I am trying to get you to say "mama" first, but I say "dada" to you just as often. We will see what you really say first :)
~I am trying to work on basic sign language with you. We will see if you catch on! (or if I teach you correctly)
~You are eating three meals a day, as well as your bottle every 2-3 hours.
~You get so excited sometimes that you shake your arms uncontrollably and almost hit yourself in the face. It usually happens when you are playing with a hard toy. It's cute, but I am afraid you are going to hurt yourself!
~You are starting to reach for people when you want to be held. ADORABLE!!!
~You love your jumper!
~You are such a blessing my boy!
Here are some random pictures of you throughout the month!
